Physics with Industrial Experience

This four-year MSci Physics course includes a year gaining hands-on paid experience in industry. A year spent in industry can be a life-changing and rewarding experience. It can help you hone your skills in project management, teamwork and communication, and provide invaluable insights into commercial pressures and real-world applied science.

Organisations our students have recently worked for include the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, Airbus, JP Morgan, Sharp, Rolls-Royce and the Science and Technology Facilities Council.

You will continue to study core physics via distance learning during your year in industry, in readiness for your final-year project or dissertation back at the University. Our students' final-year projects address questions at the frontiers of our research fields, and the most successful have been published in scientific journals.

Our physics graduates have an excellent record of employment, a testament to the value that employers place on the transferable skills that you gain on this course. The course is accredited by the Institute of Physics.
